Canaima: True Meaning!
Uses of the Word Canaima
The other use that is given to this word is to name the National Park Canaima which is a natural patrimony of humanity, and is synonymous with the beautiful, by the unique landscapes that exist in this park, that covers the Tepuyes, the Angel Falls and the Gran Sabana.
From there, the Venezuelan government has chosen it as the name for certain technological projects. The laptop for school children bears that name, as well as a version of the Linux operating system that has been called Canaima as well.
True Meaning of Canaima.
But what does the word Kanaimö really mean? What does the Pemon use this word for? The word Kanaimö (Canaima) is used to say assassin. It sounds shocking, but it's the real meaning. A Kanaimö is another Pemon that under effects of drugs is dedicated to assassinate other Pemon, and this fact makes it addictive and so, can be one or several people who participate in this evil fact. In its verbal form, Kanaimö means "stalking." It is used to refer to animal hunting or fishing. So, both in its substantive and verbal form, indicate an imminent danger to the victims.
Warning!
This is the second time I write about this topic. My goal is not only to make known about the meaning of the word Kanaimö, but also to warn of the inappropriate and excessive use that, what it does is to invoke the assassins. For no one it is logical to use the word killer as the name of a national park, or as a brand of a computer. But, it's what's happening in Venezuela.
What a crazy thing to name such a wonderful park after! I think maybe they call it like that because of how dangerous the wilderness (like the waterfalls, for example) can be to those who are not careful, as in an imminent danger to those who don't belong. But that's just my imagination :P
"Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today"
Guao! hablamos y no sabemos lo que decimos! Gracias! Kaikusé @rdelgadop,
No conocía esta palabra, pero si me llama la atención lo que manifiestas, como dice @kiriatjrb hablamos sin saber el significado.
Por eso he escrito sobre el tema. Gracias @marpa
Tan bonito que suena y resulta tener un significado sombrío :/, @rdelgadop. No recuerdo si en México pasa lo mismo... Bueno, sí pasa, pero el vocablo no es tan sombrío; solo es muy "pícaro", por decir algo.
Bueno, pero menciónalo, para aprender también amiga @vickaboleyn.
Excelente post
Interesting information @rdelgadop, sometimes we use words whose meaning we don't know, even brands, logos, songs and so on which have a subliminal meaning. I'm not a conspiranoid but it happens haha.
Just sometimes, dear @rahesi!
